Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Boil until tender, 15-20 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid; drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with 1 packet sour cream (2 packets for 4 servings) and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. (You’ll use more sour cream in the next step.) Stir in half the scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While potatoes cook, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a shallow microwave-safe dish. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in panko, Frank’s Seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Brush 1 packet sour cream (2 packets for 4) onto tops of chicken in a thin layer. (You’ll use the remaining sour cream in the next step.) Working one piece at a time, dip brushed sides of chicken into panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides). • Place coated sides up on a second lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Roast chicken on middle rack until browned and cooked through, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest. • While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine blue cheese dressing, scallion whites, and remaining sour cream.
• Divide carrots, potatoes, and chicken between plates. Top chicken with blue cheese sauce, remaining scallion greens, and hot sauce if desired. Serve with any remaining blue cheese sauce on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I love this recipe and think it hits all the right notes! The Crispy Buffalo-Spiced Chicken with the carrots and the mashed potatoes always comes up perfect with the instructions. It is a favorite for both of us and often when I order extra bags to cook for my extended family they like it too!
Outstanding chicken recipe! The buffalo crust was absolutely delicious and the blue cheese scallion sauce was fantastic. The mashed potatoes were a great side dish. I've never made parsnips before but I liked the taste. I could also see this with broccoli or some other green vegetable.
Delicious buffalo chicken recipe. I added more scallions, including some of the whites, to give the mashed potatoes a little more kick. The roasted carrots were so good and they definitely needed 25 minutes to get crispier edges. The sour cream/blue cheese/scallion sauce is perfect. So good and I love the easy cleanup.
Very tasty meal. The blue cheese sauce works perfectly with the buffalo chicken. I wouldn't have thought to pair with mashed potatoes and carrots but it makes a very cohesive bit. The starch of the potatoes and sweetness of the carrots help to cut the spice.
The chicken was so much better than the goopy chicken dipped in buffalo sauce that I used to make. It was crispy and there was no frying needed. The roasted carrots tossed in that fry spice you guys have, oh my gosh they were so good. And I'm convinced that I've been making mashed potatoes the wrong way my entire life. These mashed potatoes were creamy and had taste. All around great meal!
The Buffalo breadcrumbs was a great combination together on the chicken. I am not a fan of blue cheese and substituted ranch, but it was still tasty. The carrots were better without the seasoning on top, but were still good. I used less sour cream than called for on the chicken because the mashed potatoes needed more.
This is the best meal ever! The blue cheese/ sour cream takes the crispy chicken filet to new heights. The mashed potatoes & carrots were real bomb too. Please bring it back as an option soon. I do not see this one often enough. 10 out of 4 stars. 10/4 A++++
This recipe slapped. It was super easy to make and everything was so good! The buffalo isn't too spicy, the blue cheese dressing was fantastic, and the potatoes were like scalloped mashed potatoes and who doesn't love that!
One of my favorites-well balanced spice from the Frank's seasoning and creaminess from the blue cheese and mashed potatoes. Love the crispy texture of the baked chicken too!
Was like comfort food. Nice mashed potatoes and crunchy buffalo chicken with a little kick. Blue cheese sauce could use some work. Better if there were actual chunks of blue cheese rather than a smooth creaming bland sauce.
